M366: Revision starts today

Having attended the M366 strand at the M500 Revision Weekend and submitted my last TMA (Tuesday evening) I can now concentrate on revising for the exam on the 14.Oct.

To aid in my revision I have created a plan:

27 Wed 14.Oct Exam   14:30 – 17:30

and constructed a revision pack:

1. Learning outcomes;
2. M500 slides;
3. TMA's & marked answers;
4. 08 exam & specimen papers;
5. Glossary;
6. Maths guide;
7. Course text index.

Using the course text and my revision pack I plan to answer, on a postcard, each of the Learning Outcomes for course.  I will then carry the postcards around with me all the time and use them (i.e. whilst commuting to work) to aid in an attempt in retaining all the necessary information.

Good luck with your final exam. My ou 'career' started with its forerunner Artificial Intelligence for Technology (which had a project rather than exam). Nine years later and it is still the most challenging course I have done.
My final exam tmoz; Developing Concurrent Dist Systems. It seems so pointless cramming all the info just to complete a 3 hour paper. Oh well, best keep revising!
